  • the method includes performing the following each time the specified time period elapses: determining whether the wait count is greater than zero, if the wait count is not greater than zero, declaring the requested move to be completed, and if the wait count is greater than zero: (i) decrementing the wait count if the requested move is second move type, and (ii) decrementing the wait count if the requested move is a first move type and if an error is less than a predetermined error limed, wherein the error is a difference between the then current desired position and an actual position of the DC motor.
  • a first move type is a critical move for enabling a first print swath printed on an item of print media to be aligned with a second print swath printed on the item of print media
  • a second move type is a non-critical move wherein the item of print media is moved to a position wherein information fully contained within a single print swath is printed on the item of print media.

  • FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an inkjet printer 5 that implements an improved DC motor control method according to one embodiment of the present invention.
  • the inkjet printer 5 includes a microprocessor 10, or other suitable processing device such as a microcontroller, for controlling the operation of the inkjet printer 5 as described herein.
  • the inkjet printer 5 further includes an external flash 15 and an external RAM 20 operatively coupled to the microprocessor 10.
  • the external flash 15 is non-volatile memory that stores software code that is executed by the microprocessor 10.
  • the external RAM 20 is memory that stores variables that are referenced by the software code executed by the microprocessor 10.

  • the inkjet printer 5 includes a DC transport motor 35 which drives a feed mechanism 40, such as a belt assembly coupled to a plurality of rollers, for selectively transporting print media so that information can be printed thereon by the shuttle print head assembly 30.
  • the DC transport motor 35 is operatively coupled to and controlled by the microprocessor 10.
  • the microprocessor 10 executes code which implements a motor control subsystem 50 that includes a trajectory generator and a closed loop controller, such as, without limitation, a PID controller, a PI (proportional, integral) controller, a lead/lag controller, or some other suitable controller.
  • the PID controller receives a feedback signal indicating the position of the DC transport motor 35 (and therefore the position of an item of print media being transported by the feed mechanism 40) in the form of an encoder count output by an encoder 45 operatively coupled to the feed mechanism 40.
  • the trajectory generator generates and outputs a motion profile which is designed to selectively control the operation of the DC transport motor 35 and therefore the feed mechanism 40 to move an item of print media to a target position for printing. The trajectory generator does so by controlling the angular position of the rotor of the DC transport motor 35 over some period of time.
  • the trajectory generator outputs and provides a desired position in the form of an encoder count to the PID controller.
  • the actual position as provided by the encoder 45 is subtracted from the desired position to provide a position error which is input into the PID controller.
  • the PID controller creates an output value that is used to generate an electrical current (or voltage) that is provided to the DC transport motor 35 that controls the motion thereof.
  • the PID controller will cause the actual position to approach the desired position.
  • Figure 2 is a flowchart of a method of controlling a DC motor according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Figure 2 shows an embodiment of a method for controlling the DC transport motor 35 of the inkjet printer 5 when it is desired to transport an item of print media, such as a piece of paper or an envelope, to a target position for the printing of information in a print swath executed by the shuttle print head assembly 30 on the item of print media.
  • such a move when executed by the DC transport motor 35 will typically include at least three states: (1) an acceleration state wherein the DC transport motor 35 is accelerated from a starting velocity (e.g., zero), (2) a slewing state wherein the DC transport motor 35 slews at a certain velocity for a period of time, and (3) a deceleration state wherein the DC transport motor 35 decelerates from the slewing velocity to a resting state so that printing can begin (in addition, a fourth, hold state is implemented as an aspect of the present invention).
  • the motion of the DC transport motor 35 according to these states is determined by the output of the trajectory generator implemented in the microprocessor 10.
  • the DC motor control method includes calculating a deceleration position (i.e.., the position where deceleration will begin) in the microprocessor 10.
  • the calculated deceleration position is one which, when the deceleration is executed at the specified rate, will result in the item of print media stopping short of the target position.
  • This deceleration position is preferably specified in terms of a particular encoder count of the encoder 45.
  • the method begins at step 100, wherein based on a request from a movement requester, such as a print renderer of the inkjet printer 5, to move the item of print media to a requested target position (which corresponds to a requested target position of the DC transport motor 35), the trajectory generator implemented in the microprocessor 10 generates the first desired position Pd and provides that Pd to the PID controller of motor control subsystem 50.
  • a desired position Pd is provided to the PID controller according to some periodic time interval ⁇ T, such as 500 ⁇ s.
  • step 120 a determination is made as to whether ⁇ T has elapsed since the time that the prior Pd was provided to the PID controller. If the answer is no, then the method returns to step 120 to await the elapse of ⁇ T. If the answer at step 120 is yes, then, at step 125 the current Pd (generated in step 115) is provided to the PID controller and the method returns to step 105.
  • step 105 if the answer is yes, meaning that the current state of the DC transport motor 35 is the deceleration state, then the method proceeds to step 130, wherein the acceleration of the DC transport motor 35 is calculated and a determination is made as to whether the calculated acceleration equals zero (i.e., has zero velocity been reached?). If the answer is no at step 130, meaning the DC transport motor 35 is still decelerating and zero velocity has not been reached, then the method proceeds to step 155 (described below). If, however, the answer at step 130 is yes, meaning zero velocity has been reached (i.e., deceleration is complete), then, at step 135, a determination is made as to whether the requested move is a critical move.
  • step 140 the desired position Pd is incremented by four encoder counts and, at step 150, that new Pd is provided to the PID controller. If the answer at step 135 is yes, then, at step 145, the desired position Pd is incremented by one encoder count and, at step 150, that new desired position Pd is provided to the PID controller.
  • step 155 a determination is made as to whether the current desired position Pd is greater than or equal to the requested target position. If the answer is no, then, at step 160, the trajectory generator implemented in the microprocessor 10 generates the next desired position Pd based on the current desired position Pd and the DC transport motor 35 velocity from the deceleration profile being employed by the trajectory generator. The method then proceeds to step 120 to await the elapse of ⁇ T, after which the then current desired position Pd will be provided to the PID controller.
  • step 155 If, however, the answer at step 155 is yes, meaning that the requested target position has been met or exceeded, then, at step 165, the state of the DC transport motor 35 is set to the hold state, and the velocity and acceleration of the DC transport motor 35 are set to zero. Then, at step 170, a determination is made as to whether the requested move is a critical move. Based on the answer, two different variables will be set which, as described below, are used in the processing after the hold state has been reached. The first of those variables is an Error Limit, and the second of those variables is a Wait Count.
  • the Error Limit is set to an error value (NormalErrorLimit) that has been established for use with non-critical moves, and the Wait Count is set to a motor settling time value (NormalSettlingTime) that has been established for use with non-critical moves.
  • the Error Limit is set to an error value (CriticalErrorLimit) that has been established for use with critical moves, and the Wait Count is set to a motor settling time value (CriticalSeftlingTime) that has been established for use with critical moves.
  • step 185 a determination is made as to whether ⁇ T has elapsed since last entering step 105. If the answer is yes, the method returns to step 105, and if the answer is no, the method waits for ⁇ T to elapse.
  • step 110 the processing that is performed after the DC transport motor 35 is placed in the hold state will be discussed.
  • the method proceeds to step 190.
  • step 190 a determination is made as to whether the Wait Count variable is greater than zero. If the answer is yes, then, at step 195, a determination is made as to whether the requested move is a critical move. If the answer is yes, meaning it is a critical move, then, at step 200, a determination is made as to whether a calculated position error equal to the current desired position minus the current actual position of the item of print media as indicated by the encoder 45 is less than the Error Limit established in step 180.
  • step 185 the method returns to step 185 to await the elapse of ⁇ T. If, however, the answer at step 200 is yes, then, at step 205, the Wait Count variable is decremented by 1, and the method proceeds to step 185 to await the elapse of ⁇ T. If the answer at step 200 is no, meaning the requested move is not a critical move, then the method proceeds directly to step 205, wherein the Wait Count variable is decremented by 1. The method then proceeds to step 185 to await the elapse of ⁇ T.
  • step 210 the requested move is declared to be completed. Thereafter, the movement requester that requested the move, such as a print renderer of the inkjet printer 5, will be informed of the actual ending position of the item of print media. Based on that information, the movement requester may adjust its data, if necessary, in order to optimize the print (e.g., to cause information to be aligned between two print swaths).
  • the movement requester may adjust its data, if necessary, in order to optimize the print (e.g., to cause information to be aligned between two print swaths).
  • the DC motor control method of the present invention avoids overshoot by calculating and employing a deceleration position (i.e.., the position where deceleration will begin) wherein, when the deceleration is executed at the specified rate, the deceleration will result in the item of print media stopping short of the requested target position.
  • a deceleration position i.e.., the position where deceleration will begin
  • the method will cause the DC transport motor 35 to creep up on the requested target position using different velocities depending on whether the requested move is a critical move.
  • the DC transport motor 35 will be caused to creep at a faster velocity (e.g., four encoder counts per ⁇ T) if the move is non-critical, and a relatively slower velocity (e.g., one encoder counts per ⁇ T) if the move is critical.
  • a shorter settling time for the DC transport motor 35 will be employed if the move is non-critical, and a relatively longer settling time will be employed if the move is critical.
